Armed men wearing clown masks robbed a our friend and his pregnant partner in their Wigan home.

The two armed men smashed the rear patio doors of a house on Leigh Road, Hindley Green, at around 10.15pm on Tuesday 2nd May 2017.

They went inside and forced the woman to the ground. One of the men then threatened her partner with an axe and demanded cash.

They took “a significant amount” of money, along with a men’s Omega Seamaster watch, before fleeing towards Thomas Street, Hindley Green.

Police were called with reports of the aggravated burglary and an investigation has been launched.

We beleive it is someone known in the area and somebody will have infromation on who was involved in this sickening attack.

This could of been anyones mother, sister or partner so we need to pull together and catch these cowards. We will try to raise £5,000 to find out who did this.

Whatever ammount is raised through crowdfunding will be handed over to the police who will then be able to pass this to the person/s who provide information leading to the attackers arrest and conviction.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 2594 of May 2, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111
